This book does it all - provides inviting and relatable insights into what therapy is like, humanizes providers and clients and the vulnerability of each, and is deeply moving in portraying the human experience. Relatable, lovely, and hopeful.

I loved this book so much I recommended it to my own therapist…

The stories are brilliantly woven together - Lori as patient, Lori as therapist, and the (anonymized) stories of her patients. All experience major growth and a true character arc through their vulnerability. 

The book also shows how vulnerability  is a muscle; we can’t be honest with others until we learn how to be honest with ourselves. 

Also enjoyed the memoir elements about the author’s career changes and major life choices, and how those choices informed her present self. 

Highly recommend and would re-read.
